Thai Hot & Sour Shrimp Soup {Tom Yum Goong}
International food flavors have grown in popularity over the past several years. As the foodie movement sweeps through cities and small towns alike, eaters are looking for ‘different’ dining options. College Cafeterias are becoming International Eateries as young foodies seek out fresh flavorful options. Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and Asian Markets are as popular as ever with home cooks like me, offering expansive and diverse ingredients.

Mexican Chicken Soup {Share the Love}
Mexican Chicken Soup has become a comfort food staple for my family. Every time we have it, whether at our favorite Mexican cantina or at home, we’re reminded how wonderfully delicious this soup is. I realized recently that comfort food didn’t have to come in the form of a casserole or laced with chocolate (although for me personally those are way up there on my list). And that chicken soup didn’t have to include noodles for it to warm your soul. With a short list of ingredients, starting from scratch, you can have it on the table in 15 minutes or less. A wonderful Monday evening bonus!

Cuban Stuffed Pork Chop {with Sweet Potato Chips}
Sometimes a recipe comes to you… Wow! What kind of intro is that?! Recipes come to me in my sleep, in line at the seafood counter, checkout counter, bookstore, kitchen table, pillow talk, water cooler….love to eat. I completely love talking about food. My co-workers are amazing inspiration. We eat together, share leftovers, and stories of recipe incarnations. Today I went to the grocery store at noon to pick up lunch for a few girls in the office. At the deli counter were prepared Cuban Sandwiches. I love a Cuban! And that’s how it happens. How can I deconstruct a Cuban sandwich and turn it in to “What’s for Dinner?”
